1. Steve Smith Sr.’s thoughts on the Ravens potentially drafting Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams – he told baltimoreravens.comthat Williams doesn’t really change anything for the team and he wouldn’t consider him with the 16th overall pick – were certainly interesting. Williams is a phenomenal athlete and a physical specimen. However, the question the Ravens and other teams will have to answer is whether he’s a good enough route runner to get separation on a...

The Ravens begin the 2017 regular season in Cincinnati so they won't have to end it there for the sixth time in seven seasons. They avoid going to Green Bay in December. They'll have a near midseason bye week. They'll close the year with back-to-back...

When John Harbaugh exited Paul Brown Stadium a year ago, about an hour removed from a season-ending loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, he turned the page on what some around the team said they believed was one of his best coaching jobs.
Three seasons...

The Ravens are at that point of the season where everyone has to be fully accountable. If they can turn it around, then current personnel remain status quo.
If not, changes have to be made.
If Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti wasn't embarrassed when the New...

It will be hard for the Ravens not to improve on their incoherent offensive performance last Sunday against the Washington Redskins, but it might be premature to assume that you're going to see a dramatically different attack — and dramatically...

John Harbaugh's future as head coach of the Ravens could be determined by the success or failure of Marty Mornhinweg as the team's new offensive coordinator.
Since the Ravens won the Super Bowl at the end of the 2012 season and the team parted ways...

Ravens coach John Harbaugh has always had a clear vision of what his team's offense should look like. When he left M&T Bank Stadium late Sunday afternoon following the Ravens' 16-10 loss to the Washington Redskins, he knew that the offense he had just...

For the second time in five years – and again after a regular-season loss to the Washington Redskins – Ravens coach John Harbaugh has decided to fire his offensive coordinator in an effort to jumpstart a struggling unit.
He can only hope today’s decision...

Joe Flacco vowed to stand tall in the face of criticism, and he did just that in his postgame news conference Sunday. He took accountability for the Ravens passing game's struggles, acknowledged his embarrassment and made no attempt to sugarcoat another...

Offensive coordinator Marc Trestman could be the fall guy in 2016 if the Ravens don't succeed.
The Ravens haven't been to the playoffs in two of the last three seasons and last year fell to 5-11 after going 10-6 in 2014. The only thing that dropped...

As the losses and injuries have piled up, Ravens coach John Harbaugh has remained stoic, refusing to concede anything. It's the exact stance and mentality that you'd expect from a highly-successful and competitive football coach.

The Ravens haven't played a good, complete game yet in 2015.
A lot of people will point to the high number of injuries as the main reason for the 3-7 record, but that's just a convenient excuse. This team has to address a lot of internal problems in...

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco isn't really struggling, but he isn't comfortable yet.
Six games into the season, Flacco and the offense have played well enough to win but not well enough to carry the team. The team lacks bona fide playmakers on offense,...

There has been a lot of discussion about the Ravens not getting up to the line of scrimmage fast enough in the last minute of the San Francisco 49ers game Sunday, but that wasn’t much of a big deal to me.
If you go back and look at the play-by-play...

The sight of Steve Smith Sr., 36 years old and the only accomplished receiving option on his team's roster, settling under a punt as opposing players sprint toward him looking to deliver a crushing hit is enough to provide any Ravens' fan with a...

Marc Trestman's conservative approach was expected. A year ago as the coach of the Chicago Bears, he had talented receivers like Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett and Brandon Marshall.
As the Ravens offensive coordinator this season, Trestman has such...

Not long after Marc Trestman was hired as Ravens offensive coordinator in January, quarterback Joe Flacco was given a gift by his grandfather. It was a copy of Trestman's book about his nomadic coaching career and the lessons on leadership and teamwork...
